Preparation – Before Charging
General Checking
•
Check thoroughly the charger itself including all the cables show no damages
•
Take into consideration the charging instruction issued by the battery manufacturer
DC Mains Supply Checking
•
Make sure the DC cable must not be cut, shortened or extended under any circumstances
•
Make sure the mains supply complies with the technical specification requirements of the charger
Before Connecting the Charger to the Battery
•
<For models targeting lead-acid batteries> First connect charger to the mains to select the appropriate loader, then disconnect from the
mains and connect the temperature sensor to the battery (the assembly depends on the battery manufacturer)
•
<For all models> Make sure the charger is switched off and disconnected from the mains supply
•
Then connect the terminals of the charger to the battery
•
Finally connect the power cable of the charger to the mains supply, and switch on the charger
For Models Targeting Lead-based Batteries
•
Select the desired charge profile:
With proper connection, the LED of the currently active charge profile lights up continuously. To change the charge profile, press and hold the
"Press Button" for 5 seconds, the LED of the active profile will then change to slow flashing. Now you can switch between the different charge
profiles by briefly pressing the "Press Button". When the desired profile is selected, confirm the selection by pressing the "Press Button” again
for 5 seconds, the LED of the selected charge profile changes to steady lighting.
•
Select the Power Supply Mode:
Follow the steps above to select a charge profile; the Power Supply Mode is signaled by the lighting up of all the 4 charge profile LEDs.
•
The latest selected charge profile will be kept unless you change it
Charging the Battery
The charging process starts automatically and runs through the following stages:
Getting Ready: Auto Wake-up
Yellow Charge LED (4) and Green Full LED (5) blinks alternately. During this pre-charge phase, the charger sends out series of controlled current
pulses to reactivate the BMS (if any) and bring in a voltage to the battery for getting ready for the charging process. If no battery or defected battery
pack is connected, the Red Error LED blinks. In this case, switch off the charger and check the battery pack.
Phase 1: Soft Start
Yellow Charge LED (4) keeps on lighting. The charger regulates the initial charging current to better prolong the battery life.
Phase 2: Constant Current Charging
Yellow Charge LED (4) blinks slowly. The battery is being charged to 80% of its capacity at this stage.
Phase 3: Constant Voltage Charging
Yellow Charge LED (4) blinks quickly. The battery is being charged to its maximum capacity. When the Green Full LED (5) turns on, the charger can
now be disconnected from the battery.
